Alright, let’s talk about this asteroid Alma thing, you know, the one them space nerds are always yappin’ about. I heard it’s got somethin’ to do with astrology, like them stars and planets and all that stuff. Now, I ain’t no fancy scientist or nothin’, but I can tell ya what I know, or what I heard anyways.
So, this Alma, it ain’t no big shot like the sun or the moon. It’s just a little ol’ rock, they say, floatin’ around out there in space. They found it way back in 1894, some fella named Big-your-dan or somethin’ like that. He was in Paris, France, not here in my backyard, that’s for sure.

Now, what’s this got to do with astrology? Well, them astrologers, they think everything up there in the sky affects us down here. You know, like when the moon is full, some folks get all crazy. So, they figure this Alma rock has somethin’ to say too. They say it’s got to do with your heart and soul, kinda like what makes you, *you*.
- They say it’s in somethin’ called the “asteroid belt”, which is a whole bunch of rocks flyin’ around between Mars and Jupiter. Sounds like a busy place up there, I tell ya.
- And this Alma, it ain’t very big, only about 24 kilometers across. That’s like, I dunno, walkin’ from my house to the next town over, maybe. Not very big in the grand scheme of things, is it?
But them astrology folks, they say size don’t matter. It’s all about the *vibe* this rock gives off. They say it can tell ya somethin’ about your relationships, like who you gonna fall in love with and all that mushy stuff. I don’t really buy into all that, seems like a load of hooey if you ask me. But hey, to each their own, right?
Now, I heard some folks say you gotta look at the planets first, before you go lookin’ at these little asteroids. Makes sense, I guess. Like, you wouldn’t start buildin’ a house with the roof, would ya? You gotta start with the foundation, right? So, them planets are the foundation, and then Alma and the other asteroids are like the little decorations you put on top.
Some say if this Alma is strong in your chart, or whatever they call it, it means you’re a real heart-centered person, real soulful. You care about people, you feel things deep. And if it’s makin’ a connection with another person’s chart, well, that means you two got a real strong connection, a real heart connection.
I also heard it’s got somethin’ to do with health, too. Like, if this Alma is in a certain spot in your chart, it might mean you’re gonna have some health problems, or maybe you’ve seen a lot of sickness in your life. It’s like them stars can see into your body or somethin’. Crazy, ain’t it?
But listen, don’t go thinkin’ this Alma rock is gonna tell you everything. It’s just one little piece of the puzzle. You gotta look at the whole picture, you know? And even then, it ain’t set in stone. You still got free will, you still get to make your own choices. Don’t let no rock tell you what to do. That’s just silly. Life’s complicated enough without addin’ space rocks to the mix, you know?

So, that’s the gist of it, as far as I can tell. Alma, this little space rock, might have somethin’ to say about your heart, your soul, your relationships, and maybe even your health. But don’t take it too seriously, alright? Just somethin’ to think about, maybe somethin’ to talk about with your friends. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about stars and rocks has made me hungry.
And one last thing, them fancy folks with their charts and graphs, they use big words and complicated ideas. But it all boils down to the same thing, really. Just tryin’ to understand ourselves and the world around us. And maybe, just maybe, this little Alma rock can help us do that, even just a little bit. Who knows, right?
